I'm a guy and I think I'm moderately attractive. The only people who've the the piss out of my stutter are other guys, very rarly now I'm an adult but it happened a fair amount in school. These days, while dating, I always eventually mention that I have a stutter, but most of the time they've responded with "i didn't even notice" or something along those lines. The worst that happens these days is people speaking over me, to which I either keep speaking but louder to show that I'm still not done with my sentence, or give up with it, always depending on who I'm with and what I'm trying to say. I would imagine that people may treat me differently if I was a woman with a stutter, but haven't met any women with stutters to be able to ask about it. Personally I try to treat anyone, pretty or otherwise, the same, but I guess that's off the back of understanding what it's like to be treated badly by people
